EXCLUSIVE: Campaigners, housebuilders and social housing groups have called on SNP ministers to invest in more affordable housing at a time many Scots are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
Humza Yousaf has been urged to ditch a “devastating” £190million housing cash cut in this week’s Scottish budget amid soaring rents and a homelessness emergency.
The letter states: “Tomorrow the Scottish Parliament will decide whether to approve your government’s budget – a budget that proposes to slash the money available to build social homes by more than a quarter. “We just aren’t building the homes that Scotland needs, and all the time the situation is getting worse. This simply isn’t right.
“It’s vital these cuts are reversed. By building new affordable and social housing, and pushing on with plans to prevent homelessness, we can create a Scotland where everyone has a safe, secure place to call home.” Alex Cole-Hamilton, the Scottish Lib Dems leader, warned cutting the housing budget would “simply store up problems for further down the road”.
“We want to build more homes of every kind, re-establish social renting as a viable option and strengthen our commitment to ending homelessness across Scotland.”
